Come experience the beauty of Oak Island in this spacious refurbished cottage under the most beautiful twisted oaks on a quiet street on the friendliest little island. Walk to the dock at end of the street to fish or read or launch your kayak to explore the historic intracoastal waterway and end your day watching the sun set over the water. Oak Island's uncrowded beaches are just a 2 minute drive or 15 minute walk away. Spend your days enjoying the miles of shoreline or hiking the overlook trails or taking daytrips to Southport or the Fort Fisher Aquarium or Bald Head Island and come back home to your cottage under the oak trees. Fully renovated and designed for a beach vacation you'll want to keep coming back for. You'll have easy access when you arrive using a passcode provided prior to your stay. Plenty of parking on the paved driveway. The entire home and yard is yours to use, aside from a small linen closet and garage. The neighbors call this Dream Street. It's a quiet and friendly little street with a dock at the end. The island is easy to navigate. OKI is one of the last beaches with free parking everywhere. For a super fun vacation you can rent a golf cart during your stay. Feel free to fill the birdbath and watch the birds enjoy. Turn on your bluetooth and hook up to PYLEUSA to start enjoying your music on the home speaker. There are beach towels and buckets just inside the front door and chairs and boogie boards outside the side door. There's a small cooler in the kitchen for you to take to the beach. After your beach day hang your towels on the retractable clothesline off the deck that hooks to the tree. There's a cornhole set under the couch and other board games on the coffee table. There is plenty of hand soap, paper towels, trash bags, etc. Feel free to reach out with any questions you have. We're available and want to make your stay great. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - On the waterfront ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Double-glazed windows - Garden - Recycling ## Similar properties ![Microwave, oven, stovetop, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118050000/118048800/118048774/f616e47e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Modern, well-appointed 3-bedroom house on Oak Island Tranquil Harbour - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning - Parking available 8.6 Excellent 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-18&endDate=2025-10-19&selected=118048774&PinnedHotelID=118048774&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76660000/76653300/76653277/3e27c8f7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful 80's style 3 br. beach house just a 5 min. walk to the beach.
